review 1: Romance becomes obsession in this mysterious thriller. I haven't read any of the other DS Roy Grace books but I don't think you have to - I managed to follow the storyline and the book wasn't dependent on reading others beforehand. At times it's frustrating, but that's the talent...

review 1: I think Peter James has a great series here and a great detective in Roy Grace, it has been a while since I have returned to the cobbled streets of Brighton to see just what are Roy is getting up to! I believe the thing about a detective series is that you should not read the com...

review 1: Despite the shortness of this story I literally did not put this book down. I sat still for the hour it took me to read it and did not stop reading, I didn't even touch my drink I had put beside me. I found it interesting how both were thinking along similar lines of murder and h...

review 1: I am a massive Peter James fan and think pretty much every book I’ve read of his has been excellent. It won’t come as that big a surprise that I thought this book was excellent. It centred on the issue of human trafficking for organ procurement and brought up some ethical questio...

review 1: Spoilers........believe it or not this was my first in the Grace series. Really enjoyed it, would happily read the whole series. So many good elements to it. I liked the fact his wife was around still as added excitement as to when she may pop back. Continuing themes like that ma...

review 1: My sister-in-law passed me this book to read, which she picked up as it is predominantly based near where she lives, so lots of places to be recognised. This is the fist time I've read a book by this author and I really enjoyed it. I would love to go back and read the first three...

review 1: Utter drivel. I was trying to finish this to add to my total of books read for the year but at the half way point I decided I had better things to do with two hours of my life. Yes, the writing is so light that it's only taken me about that long to get through 300 pages of the pa...

review 1: Another great Roy Grace novel from Peter James. Good to have some of the back story on his life with Sandra who we have only known as a 'misper' in previous novels in the series. From all his acknowledgements of assistance from police officers, I think we can assume that the auth...

review 1: J'ai eu du mal a entrer dans l'histoire au début car beaucoup de personnages, de passés et d'environnements différents auxquels s'habituer mais une fois les "présentations" faites on comprend facilement comment les évènements vont prendre sens. Même si le thème est relativement f...

review 1: This book is caught between fact and fiction. The more I read, the more I believe that this probably actually happens and willed my mind to hope that it wasn't. Lynn's daughter is dying of liver disease and is on the list for a donor. A private agency is found who can provide ...

review 1: Carly is onaandachtig achter het stuur omdat ze met haar telefoon aan het rommelen is. Achter haar rijdt een witte bestelwagen, een bumperklever. Ze kan nog net een fietser ontwijken die eigenlijk aan de verkeerde kant van de weg rijdt. Ze rampt de gevel van een huis. Wanneer ze ...

review 1: I love this series! This novel is hard to describe in a few words, it's all complicated and messy in a good way. Ronnie disappears, later thought to have died in 9/11. Abby is stuck in an elevator for almost a whole day. A body is found in a drainage sewer. Another body is found ...

review 1: I am enjoying the Roy Grace series but this fourth novel is not as good as the previous three. The first third of the book flips between two timelines and several storylines and it just does not flow very well. Having just read 'I am pilgrim' which does a similar thing but in a v...

review 1: Perfect People is a medical thriller about a couple who lost their young son to a rare genetic disorder and are now opting for a designer baby. The husband is a scientist, he should know better than to fool with genetics. The premise is not bad, but the couple is dull and borin...

review 1: I have to pace myself with thrillers. I can only read or listen to one every so often. Some can leave me with a headache from the eye-rolling with the portrayal of the serial killer's MO and the pursuing agents/cops following the clues and grudgingly falling in love (since it's u...

review 1: Çok uzundu... 4, hatta 5 yıldız bile verebilirdim ama bir polisiye romanının tüm o bilinmez sıkıcılığı 600 küsür sayfaya sığdırılınca gerçekten bunalttı. 400. Sayfadan sonra gerçekten sırf bitirmek için okudum, hani eğer katilin kim olduğunu kitabın başlarında zaten söylemeselerd...

review 1: This was a slightly different approach with delineated storytelling that sees two different Grace investigations separated by ten or so years. Both dealing with the same perpetrator, the Shoe Man. We are introduced to several potential culprits and begin to look for similarities ...

review 1: I completed my second helping "Looking Good Dead" yet another exciting read from Peter James. I wished though that I could give this a 5plus as I feel that this story is far far superior. I particularly enjoyed sharing the lives of all the individuals and characters from the vic...
